The war in Syria is breaking dangerous new ground. Syrian and Russian airstrikes have pummeled rebel-held areas, reducing entire neighborhoods to rubble. Meanwhile, American commanders vow to hold their ground on behalf of Kurdish allies, under threat of attack by Turkey. Nick Schifrin talks to journalist Gayle Tzemach Lemmon and Hassan Hassan of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy.
